The southern lowlands of Nepal are
known as the Terai. This area is covered in dense
tropical jungles and is home to thousands of bird and
animal species, including some of the world's most
exotic and endangered species. Due to increases in
population, deforestation, and illegal poaching, the
natural habitats of animals like One-Horned Rhino, Royal
Bengal Tiger, Snow Leopard, Red Panda, Blue Bull, and
the Gharial Crocodile are being destroyed, and leading
these creatures to extinction. This loss of wildlife
must be stopped so that future generations will have a
healthy and balanced way of life. Fortunately, efforts
are being made by the Nepalese government to preserve
these natural wildlife sanctuaries and to maintain
balance in the local Eco-systems.
A number of conservation areas, national parks, wildlife
reserves, and hunting reserves have been established in
Nepal. Today, there are 14 national parks and wildlife
reserves in Nepal, including the Royal Chitwan National
Park, world heritage site. Some of the national park of
Nepal known as Royal Chitwan Nationa Park & Royal Bardia
National park are very popular for safari adventure.
There is many activities such as elephant ride, nature
walk, canoe, bridwatching , village tour & cultural
performance can be enjoyed during the safari adventure
